Sometimes you only need a handful of pages out of a much longer PDF — a couple of chapters from a report, or one form buried in a 40-page scan. This tool extracts exactly the pages you specify from an uploaded PDF and assembles them into a new, smaller PDF, in whatever order you list them.
Specify pages as a comma-separated list, individual page numbers, ranges, or a mix of both (e.g. "1,3-5,8") and the tool builds a new PDF containing just those pages, preserving each page's original size and orientation exactly.
How it works
Upload a single PDF and enter which pages you want extracted — a single page number, a range like "3-5", or a comma-separated combination like "1,3-5,8". The tool checks the page numbers against the PDF's actual page count, then builds a new PDF containing just those pages in the order you listed them. Download the result as soon as it's ready.
- Upload a single PDF file.
- Enter the pages you want, e.g. 1,3-5,8.
- Click Extract and download the new PDF.
Examples
Extracting a range of pages
From a 20-page report, entering "5-8" extracts pages 5 through 8 into a new 4-page PDF, leaving the rest of the report out.
Extracting a mix of individual pages and ranges
Entering "1,3-5,10" from a longer document extracts the cover page, pages 3 through 5, and page 10 — five pages total, combined into one new PDF in that order.
Who should use it
- Pulling a specific chapter or section out of a longer report.
- Extracting one form or page from a larger scanned document.
- Reordering a handful of pages from a source PDF into a new sequence.
Industry applications
- Legal and contract management
- Office administration
- Publishing and reporting
- Scanning and archiving workflows
Advantages
- Supports single pages, ranges, and combinations in one request.
- Reports the PDF's actual page count when a requested page doesn't exist, instead of failing silently.
- Preserves each extracted page's original size and orientation.
Limitations
- Produces one combined output PDF from the selected pages, not separate individual PDF files per page.
- Can't open password-protected or corrupted PDFs.
- A single 20MB source file limit per split.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Miscounting pages in a long document and requesting the wrong range.
- Forgetting that page numbers refer to the PDF's own page order, not a printed page number that might differ (e.g. front matter numbered separately).
- Trying to split a password-protected PDF without removing the password first.
Best practices
- Open the source PDF first to confirm the exact page numbers you need before entering a range.
- Use commas to combine multiple non-adjacent pages or ranges in a single extraction instead of running the tool multiple times.
- Keep the original file until you've confirmed the extracted PDF contains exactly what you expected.
Tips
- If you're not sure of the exact page count, try a wide range first — the tool will tell you the real page count if your range goes too far.
- List pages in the exact order you want them to appear in the output, not necessarily their original order.
